85% Of Car Drivers Break 20mph Speed Limits, Reveals U.K.’s Department For Transport
  • UK highways departments have had essentially zero budget for 2+ decades now. There's no funding to completely retrofit every single residential street to match the new signage. Most of them are already incredibly narrow and tight compared to your average North American street.

  • I assume the Siri and Google assistant white noise just download the 20 min file when you ask and just repeat that. Whereas an 8h podcast of a 20 minute repeated sound will use 8h of bandwidth

  • Overtaking 500 cars on a bicycle!
  • Shared paths are more dangerous to use if you're going at any speed. Motorists aren't looking for cyclists when driving over them into side roads and driveways, and cyclists lose priority at every side road.

  • Lots of Americans in this thread. This sort of riding is legal and encouraged in the UK and can be done quite safely. Cycling groups put out videos showing these techniques: https://youtu.be/VNr762i9oQU

    Obviously it's a fairly seasoned cyclist thing, and more and more cycle infrastructure is being rolled out so people don't have to do this, but I do object to people from North America in this thread applying their laws and cultural norms to another country where this is quite normal

  • Filtering is legal and encouraged in the UK. There are cycling UK videos showing this technique as best practice. Please don't bring your US centric views to a UK video if you don't understand our laws

  • how is Lemmy going for you?
  • This will be controversial too but having the same community on each instance doesn't work either. There are 3 major Android communities and none have very much content, and lots of reposts etc

  • The Blusher, Amanita Rubescens, in mixed woodland in Northern UK

    How can I make Lemmy show me good fresh content?

    I'm subscribed to quite a few communities now but my subscribed feed is still pretty barren. Whether I sort by hot or active I'm seeing the same few posts a lot of the time, often with very few upvotes or comments. I also see months old posts popping up again and again. There is a post on one community with -39 score from 8 months ago that I see every time I open the app. And one from 3 years ago with one comment from months ago.

    All feed isn't much better for me either.

    Jelly Ears on Elder tree in Lancashire, UK

    Interesting fungus. Sadly full of maggots as you can see in the photo, so nothing for the dehydrator today.
